What could go wrong with GST Reg

Address proof mismatch

  • Business address on your electricity bill must match the application exactly - even flat number format matters.
  • Mismatch triggers an officer query that adds 3-5 days.
  • Ollvy CA cross-checks every address document before filing.

Aadhaar OTP fails

  • GST registration requires Aadhaar OTP on your linked mobile number.
  • If the number is old or inactive, OTP fails and you cannot proceed - must be fixed at an Aadhaar centre first.
  • Ollvy verifies your Aadhaar-linked mobile before filing.

Operating without registration

  • If turnover crossed Rs. 40 lakh (goods) or Rs. 20 lakh (services) without registration, you owe 100% of unpaid GST plus Rs. 10,000 minimum penalty.
  • Penalty starts from the date you should have registered, not when you get caught.
